Re: Prayers Please
I know I've said this a million times ... but syringe feeding as stressful as it is won't kill her, not eating or getting enough food and by that I mean at least a can a day will. period. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Prayers Please
Prayers just offered. Can you get her to an internal medicine specialist? Sounds like infection? Is her throat swollen? Is she licking her lips? (nausea). So sorry to hear this. Keep looking for answers! Important to keep her eating (see yahoo group feline assisted feeding for more info about this). Kitties can go into liver failure within 48 hours of not eating normal amount of food. I think I've read that kitties with FIV are susceptible to mouth issues.

Re: Prayers Please
I'm so sorry to hear about your Buddy. Have you tried low dose oral interferon? Dont know, might help though - especially since it might be easy to give (syringe) orally and the contact with the throat tissue might be good (again don't know here, just a thought! Prayers and good wishes going out for her. Gloria On Jan 1, 2008, at 9:31 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everybody Unfortunately I've returned fo rno so good reasons.
